ISAAC

Badgers are COOL!

ARTHUR

Yeah! The Bright Badger is the best hero EVER.

Fred Noble bangs his hand on the table.

FRED

None of that! You know I don't like that kind of talk.

ISAAC

I don't see what is the big deal. You obviously have the tech gene.

FRED

For the last time. Just because someone shows a little technical aptitude does not mean that they have 'the tech gene'. And even those that are unfortunate enough to have it, do not all go putting on their underwear and parading around in public acting like fools.

ARTHUR

But Dad it would be so cool!

KAROL

Your father was tested. Your father and your uncle don't have the meta gene or the tech gene. They're just both very good men. Perfectly normal.

FRED

No. Everyone in this room is perfectly extraordinary.

KAROL

Of course dear.

INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT

Frank and Fred Noble are seated at dinner with Fred's wife, KAROL NOBLE, and his two children ISAAC NOBLE and ARTHUR NOBLE. There is a period of awkward silence where no one talks.

ISAAC

So.

ARTHUR

So.

FRED

So what?

ARTHUR

So-so.

Everyone at the table laughs.

FRANK

Thanks for getting me out of there Fred.

FRED

Hey. You'd do the same thing.

ARTHUR

Are you crazy Uncle Frank?

FRED

ARTHUR!

ARTHUR

What? I just wanted to know.

FRANK

Yes, Arthur. I am crazy.

Fred rolls his eyes.

ARTHUR

Cool. Do you get to take medication?

FRANK

Er, No.

FRED

Your uncle does not need medication.

ISAAC

Actually dad, he has been acting kind of weird.

KAROL

Stop badgering your uncle.

DR DOBIN

Perhaps we can come to some arrangement.

Fred punches Dr. Dobin in the face and walks around to open up the door.

INT. PADDED CELL – DAY

Frank looks back at the wall he spoke to earlier and says.

FRANK

(as if talking to a camera)

The plan is now working perfectly.

Frank turns to Fred, acting perfectly sane.

FRANK

Fred! Good to see you! These people locked me up, I have no idea why.

FRED

Don't you worry about a thing Frank.

Fred helps Frank up and they leave. Lawyer looks at Dr. Dobin.

LAWYER

Expect to hear from us.

EXT. LUNATIC ASSYLUM - DAY

Frank, Fred and Lawyer drive away.

FRANK

(as if speaking to the camera)

Little do THE FORCES OF EVIL know that they have captured the superhero GRENADEMAN. But as we speak our hero is working out a way to get out of this situation.

Frank resumes looking at the camera and babbling in an insane fashion.

INT. MONITOR ROOM NEAR CELL – DAY

Fred, Lawyer and Dr. Dobin come in and see Frank.

DR DOBIN

There, you see what I mean?

FRED

Well if you dope somebody up enough they're bound to act like this.

DR DOBIN

We're not giving him anything. He's acting like this entirely on his own.

FRED

You're not giving him anything at all? And yet you're claiming to try and cure him? What crap is this?

DR DOBIN

Well I er

FRED

That's what I thought. I want into to see him. Now.

DR DOBIN

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Lawyer begins to pull out cell phone and make a call.

ATTENDANT

I think you want to see them sir. Yes.

The attendant puts down the phone and looks at Fred and Lawyer.

ATTENDANT

Dr. Dobin will be out to see you shortly.

Dr. Dobin comes out about ten seconds later from the office on the other side of the hall.

DR DOBIN

Mr. Noble, so glad to see you. Perhaps there has indeed been some misunderstanding. You see Mr. Noble checked himself into our clinic.

FRED

Really? That sounds like crap to me.

DR DOBIN

He specifically requested that no one be informed that we admitted him. He is demonstrating...well, extreme catatonic manic depressiveness.

LAWYER

Those terms are contradictory.

DR DOBIN

Are they? Well, here, come-you'll see for yourself. He just sits in the corner and babbles to himself all day.

Dr. Dobin, Fred and Lawyer walk down the hall.

INT. PADDED CELL - DAY

Frank Noble has a straight jacket on and is babbling to himself. He looks up at a camera in the wall and makes faces at it. Then he turns to the wall.
